Harper reportedly passed on $45 million a year from the Dodgers and would have been able to opt out at age 30

Nothing tops a 13 year contract with no trades or options.  Smashing contract for Bryce.

No way. Opt out is player gold.

Bryce Harper loves the city of Philadelphia so much, he refused the buy out option.

Scott Boras said Bryce told him he wanted to play in one city the rest of his career. Told him to get the longest deal possible.

Yanking something out of someone's hands? Here we go, let the mansplaining begin. Perfectly normal behavior, you're right.

Not to mention, her first reaction was to yell help, sooooooo....

Why does it look like they were just lounging in the middle of a street or alley way or something?

San Fran is a weird fucking place?

So question.  It's 2 AM, my baby girl is sleeping. The bride is travelling for work and I am thinking about baseball, because why not. Tempo has made the point a few times that there are basically zero players (cano and cruz), that are 35 and over who are still good.

Rather than max payrolls, knowing players are more valuable earlier early in their early 20s, maybe they look to go year to year for bigger money. If a Judge has a banana year, since he probably wont have a career at 32, maybe MLB says your base salary at 26 is 6 mil over 600k...Make them bring up vlad at 22 and pay him. Get his best years in MLB.  So less long term commitment for teams, but more money up front for production?

Is this in referring to the upcoming labor agreements?

Yep, and love the expression on Nolan Ryan's face whilst he pummels Robin Ventura

That's good stuff but no Yanks-Os either.
